No crypto knowledge needed
I’m an investor in Pulse: I’ve held its token and used its products since November 2025. I’m also in its ambassador program, so the buttons on this page are my invite links and I earn if you join and put money in through them. That’s why I can describe it from the inside, and it’s also why you should read this as one person’s experience rather than advice.
Pulse in one paragraph
Pulse is a young company building tools around prediction markets: websites where people buy and sell answers to questions about the future. It has an app for trading those answers, two products that earn on your money without you trading, its own token, and a program that pays you for bringing in other people. It’s been running for about a year, and I’ve been watching it the whole time.
First: what is a prediction market?
Imagine a question: “Will it rain in London tomorrow?”
On a prediction market you can buy a “Yes” or a “No” for that question. If you’re right, each one pays $1. If you’re wrong, it pays nothing.
The price tells you what the crowd thinks:
- “Yes” costs 70¢ → people think there’s about a 70% chance of rain.
- You buy “Yes” for 70¢. It rains. You get $1. You made 30¢.
- It doesn’t rain. Your 70¢ is gone.
You also don’t have to wait for the answer. You can sell your “Yes” at any time at whatever it’s worth that moment.
That’s the whole mechanism. The questions cover sports, elections, weather, crypto prices and world events. The biggest of these markets is called Polymarket.
Why people take this seriously. A poll asks for your opinion. A market asks whether you’ll put money behind it, so prices react quickly to news and pull together what thousands of people know. In June 2026 the two biggest markets handled about $45 billion of trades in a single month (where that number comes from, and what it hides). The owner of the New York Stock Exchange has invested in Polymarket, and Robinhood and Coinbase have launched their own markets.
What Pulse does today: a better screen for the same market
Pulse’s main product is Pulse Market, an app you open in your browser. It shows you the same questions and the same prices as Polymarket, on a screen built to help you choose.
Think of it like this: Polymarket is the shop, and Pulse is a smarter shopping list. You can line up thousands of questions in one table and sort them, for example by “closing soon” or “moving the most today”, instead of opening them one by one.
Two things that matter for beginners:
- You can start with $1. That’s the smallest trade. It’s the cheapest way I know to learn how these markets feel without risking much.
- No password. You log in with a code sent to your email, or with Google.
What you need to start: digital dollars, called stablecoins (USDT or USDC), worth at least $10.
Four ways to take part, depending on what you want
1. “I want to try trading myself” → Pulse Market
- What you do: pick questions and buy “Yes” or “No” yourself.
- What you get: $1 per share if you’re right, nothing if you’re wrong.
- When you can take money out: any time.
- Know this: this is the only option where you make the decisions. You can lose what you put in. Most people do: a study of 2.5 million Polymarket wallets found that 84% were losing money. That’s exactly why I say start with $1 and treat it as tuition.
2. “I want my money to earn on its own” → two products
Both are run by Pulse, both pay out every week, and both lock your money in. They work very differently, though.
Pulse Liquidity: like running a currency exchange booth
A currency exchange booth buys euros a little cheaper than it sells them, and keeps the difference. Pulse Liquidity does the same on prediction markets: it always offers to buy slightly lower and sell slightly higher, and earns the gap every time someone trades. Polymarket also pays extra bonuses to whoever does this job.
- You put in: digital dollars (USDT), for 3 to 24 months.
- You get: payments every Friday, up to 15% a month on the longest term, by Pulse’s published rates.
- Your original money: comes back in full on the last day of the term.
- Taking it out early: not possible.
Pulse Trading (the “Pulsar” algorithm): a contract capped at double
You don’t deposit money. You buy a contract.
- You put in: from $50.
- You get: payments every Tuesday. Pulse’s own estimate is roughly 15–20% a month on a standard contract and 18–22% on Premium. Those are estimates, and nobody guarantees them.
- How fast: by Pulse’s estimate, about 11–12 months to reach 200% on Standard, 9–10 on Premium.
- Taking it out early: not possible.
This is the difference people mix up most:
| Liquidity | Trading contract | |
|---|---|---|
| What you’re doing | Lending your money to a market-making strategy | Buying a share of an algorithm’s trading results |
| Your original money | Comes back at the end of the term | Doesn’t come back separately. Payouts are all you get, up to 2× |
| How much you can get | The weekly rate, for the term you chose | At most double what you paid |
| How often you’re paid | Weekly, on Fridays | Weekly, on Tuesdays |
| When it ends | On a date you pick | When payouts reach the cap, however long that takes |
| Can you leave early? | No | No |
What I find reassuring about the trading product: every single trade is published with its time, price and a record you can check yourself. I’ve spot-checked several. I haven’t seen that level of openness from any other product like this.
The calculator. The Pulse dashboard has a calculator for each product. For the trading contract you enter an amount, pick Standard or Premium, and choose a strategy: Take profit, where you keep each payout, or Buy Premium, where your payouts buy new Premium contracts so the money keeps working instead of coming out. It then draws the whole contract: the weekly and monthly payouts, the point where you’ve got your money back, and the week it ends.
It’s useful for two things. You can see how the two strategies differ, and you can see that the 200% arrives as months of small weekly payments rather than a lump at the end.
3. “I believe in the company” → the token
A token is a digital asset tied to Pulse. Its price goes up and down with demand, like anything traded on a market. It is not a share in the company.
There are two ways to buy it, and they’re very different deals:
- On an exchange, at today’s price: you can sell any amount, any time.
- In the presale, at less than half that price: you can’t sell anything until the presale is fully over, and after that only about 2.5% of your tokens a month, for more than three years.
You can also lock your tokens for 3 to 24 months (“staking”) and get extra tokens every week. Those come from a fund that Pulse refills from the app’s earnings. As long as the app earns, the fund gets topped up.
4. “I want to bring other people in” → the ambassador program
Pulse grows by paying people who bring in new customers. When someone you invited buys the token or puts money into Liquidity, you get a percentage, and you also earn from the people they bring in, several levels down. The more your team puts in, the higher your status and your share.
It’s a multi-level referral program, and Pulse says openly that this is its marketing. Big crypto companies pay for referrals too, but Pulse’s version goes much deeper than most. Today it pays on token purchases and the money products.
Trading is handled separately. Pulse has said the referral program for the terminal will be a simpler, two-level program: you earn with the people you bring in and with the people they bring in. It isn’t live yet, and the rates haven’t been published.
Why I’m still in after a year
In a year I haven’t seen a red flag. They promised, they shipped. The founders are on Zoom with the community every week and always answer even awkward questions. And I believe prediction markets are early in the way crypto was early.
That’s my view, as someone with money in it. You now know enough to form your own.

Sign up costs nothing, and you can look around the app and the cabinet before you put in a single dollar.

Terminology
- Prediction market: a market where you buy “Yes” or “No” on a future event. Right answers pay $1.
- Polymarket: the largest prediction market. Pulse’s app trades on it.
- Stablecoin (USDT, USDC): a digital dollar, always worth about $1. You need these to use Pulse.
- Token: a digital asset tied to a project. Its price moves with demand.
- Presale: buying a token early and cheaper, with a waiting period before you can sell.

- Liquidity: how easy it is to buy or sell without moving the price. “Providing liquidity” means always being ready to buy and sell.

Nothing here is financial advice. Prediction markets involve real risk, so never trade money you can’t afford to lose.
